Mainstream Media 1851-2008 R.I.P.

Barack Obama has been elected the 44th President of the United States, a historic achievement, and even though he ran a good campaign and is charismatic he didn't do it on his own.

The mainstream media (MSM), in large part helped him. Thanks to their biased reporting and willingness to smear anyone who questioned (Joe the Plumber) or stood against him (John McCain and Sarah Palin) he won. Don't get me wrong, they didn't do all the work, but entities such as the New York Times and NBC especially helped him with their barrage of stories over a wide range of subjects, too enormous to list here, from the cost of Sarah Palin's wardrobe to, I believe the most egregious, looking into John McCain's POW status and speaking with the person who ran the prison he was held in.

The MSM is dead here. They were more interested in electing Barack Obama and doing anything to achieve that than, even at the price of their jobs, being honest brokers and investigating what should have been investigated.
